Sulzer playing not because Alberts has sucked, he hasn't, but because the Canucks want to see what he can do. He was brought in for depth and he has to play. So far nothing good to say but nothing bad. It was only his first period as a Canuck so to early to say what he can do.

I like the line combos tonight. A lot more hustle and some good hitting.

I would say there was something good. Ballard and Sulzer had a nice sequence resulting in a scoring chance. Also something bad...he was beat a couple times 1 on 1, but he recovered.

Alberts was not very good last night.

That said I do agree that they need to get Sulzer some games. He's 9th on the depth chart which means baring a trade he will have to play at some point.

I'll have to see the canuck rush preceeding that goal again to see if BIeksa was going to be useful but too often he just jumps into the play with no real reason to. Actually my one biggest issue with Bieksa even when he is playing well is his pinches down low ans subsequent refusal to get back into position for far far too long.

Tant,

You seem to be full of angst, I think you should start a Bieksa rant thread, you will feel better (smile).
